- "The most famous, or infamous, pirate was Edward Teach (Captain Blackbeard). Originally a merchant seaman who privateered during Queen Anne's war, 1702-13, Teach requested and received command of a captured French ship, the Concorde, and turned her into a pirate ship which he renamed Queen Anne's Revenge." - excerpt from the book The Ocean Almanac by Robert Hendrickson, Doubleday, 1984, pg. 201.
